Abstract/OtherAbstract:

Authors analyse their experience with the treatment of ninety-three cases of cerebello-pontine angle tumors. A trained team with an otologist and neurosurgeon can obtain best results, both functional and vital. The postero-trans-labyrinthine approach, as described by House and al is used ad the method of choice. Analysis of cases shows that big tumors are frequent and their therapy difficult even if the risk of mortality has been diminished.
